So upset by this ad

[linz06]

He is not very well housetrained and needs a belly band while inside. He likes to mark. He also doesn't have much for obedience training.
I don't know if I can deal with that much training, especially for a dog who has not been house trained for 2.5 years already. If he marks, it will just encourage Layla to pee anywhere too.
Does anyone else want him??

You took me wrong! I meant the breeder may not even know what she has and the pedigree may have some really nice dogs and he may be very nice is what I was trying to say. What ever his quality I would fall for that sad face as well....and those eyes. I just meant you might be getting even more than you expect. I would definitely pick him up.

edit: didn't see your last post

Ohhh lol yeah he does look like a very nice yorkie. His coat is much nicer than Layla's, who is a registered yorkie with champions in her pedigree! (don't tell her I said that )

I just emailed her to let her know she was getting talked about. If some one don't have money to pay for a yorkie, they may not need one. You have to have money to have pets, you have to take them to the vets, food , & ect. Their needs cost money!! Love only goes so far. Everyone wants something for free, and when it get sick do you think the vet is going to be free!!! No I hope this dog fines a great home with someone that can love him and take care of any of his needs.

I agree and I think someone right in their town will end up getting him but we have alot of YT members from Canada also. My Crystal was a canadian dog but from Ontario.

I do live very close to her actually. There are a lot of people on YT especially that are willing to give yorkies loving homes.

I don't know what Julie meant but I certainly didn't mean that but I do believe you have to think about the entire life of the dog before you buy since it is a lifetime of care.

I do not think dog ownership should just be for the rich. I think every child should have a dog growing up but their parents should be willing to give up lots in order to do that if need be. We had some hard times in the past and I cut way back on my grocery bills so she could have the best. It is possible.

You know what? I am offended that you are doing this and keep emailing the breeder asking her to lower her price and adding your little haha's. I am not very nice when people call me about my puppies and pull this on me. If this breeder is like me, she knows what she wants for the dog. I set my price and people can take it or leave it. I usually get off the phone real fast after I tell people that if they are looking for a free puppy or a two or three hundred dollar one, that they need to keep right on looking. When I buy things, I pay what the asking price is.

Dee, that is your right to refuse but it was also the right of the breeder that Mier talked with and maybe she was willing to take less and I guess she was.

Your very entitled to you opinion of me, but don't judge me please. I'm a good hearted person and was simply looking to see if she would lower her price seeing as her add said she was willing to haggle. And fyi I was adding my little "hahas" because of how many back and forth answers we had between us about the little guy. And "you know what" you shouldn't jump into a conversation and leave rude comments, because thats not good nature.

Thank you, that is what I am talking about, why do people think breeders should almost give yorkies away. The breeders like unless do not buy cheap Yorkies to be in a breeding line, we have very nice bloodlines and pay $$$$$ for them, they we do all the test on them, vet vists, best food , houseing, cleaning up after them, sleepless nights with puppies, and people think they should sell for a free or 200. Please, No!!! It cost money to breed, we have to sell the puppies for a price to pay ourself back for all that we have put out.

And no I did not call you poor, but you have to think when you get a puppy or dog "what if" I bought a Maltese male about a year ago, after about 8 weeks he got very sick, I spend $900 in vet bills and still lost him. It is something that could happen to anyone and the vets never found what was wrong. And he was bought from a very good breeder and she give me another puppy without me asking, but I was still out the $900.

Well this thread has been ruined.

I think the difference between the two situations is that you are a reputable breeder, who takes care of her dogs. This lady is a backyard breeder that has been breeding an unregistered dog, who isn't house trained, or trained at all from what PP have written. How many rescue dogs would have a home if the rescue organization/pound charged 700+ to help out a dog.

They aren't asking for a free puppy, they are just wanting to help find an older dog with issues a nice, loving home. Just because someone doesn't want to pay close to a grand for an unregistered dog with issues, doesn't mean they can't afford to take care of it once it gets to them. My little guy is a rescue, and I gave a rehoming fee of less than 200, but he has never/and will never want for proper care and treatment.

It is okay if you choose not to haggle with potential customers, I can understand that, but the lady with this ad obviously doesn't care to talk about price, so why should it bother you?

I think some of the people in this thread are acting extremely childish. Who cares if the price is being haggled? Its a 2.5 year old dog who is basically being dumped off because its basically to the current owner "used goods". I personally applaud everyone in this thread for trying to save a defenseless dogs life and give it a better one with them and their family. Who cares about haggling, your saving a dog from being dumped off god knows where by someone who no longer wants it. There should be more people who try to help animals like this in the world.
